I don't know how old you are or how close to retirement age but I had to 'retire' at the ripe old age of 49. Best thing that ever happened to me. I am so much healthier now than I was then because I don't have the hecticness and worry of work and having to juggle work, home life, Mom, wife, daughter. With work out I was me.

Luckily I had long term disability where I worked while I was waiting for all my disability work to go through and be accepted. So I never went without a paycheck. Now it wasn't the same kind of check I was getting while I was working but all the same it was a paycheck. I have checked some salary websites and I would be making at least $30/hour if I were still working. I started out at $3.75 as an RN!!! When I quit I was making $19/hour and that enough blew my mind.
